Are you looking to create an elegant app? You know, the ones that are so intuitive that there are no instructions included?
Well you’re in luck. UI design is one of the things that sets one app apart from another. You can have two apps with the exact same functionality but the one with the better user interface will typically be the one that succeeds when it is launched.
Before you approach a designer or developer to create your mobile app, it’s usually best if you have a few examples of apps that you like or other apps that mirror functionality that you’re looking to create.
Below are 3 websites to use to get some inspiration for your mobile application.
